You can make them out regular matches first take the sulphir of the matches and scratch off some of the striker you will get powder then turn the sulphir in to powder the mix the two add a little bit of water make it into a paste then the sticks that you scratch the sulphir from put the paste on either side of the stick lit it drie for 10 or 20 min then have fun
They are made so that friction is boosted on any surface, creating flames.
White phosphorus.
In a strike-anywhere match friction turns red-phosphorus into white phosphorus which burns in contact with air.
there like strike anywhere matches where you can strike them on anything that creates friction.
it was a strike anywhere match
A mach which usually has a different colored tip. the tip is sulfur which is the oxidiser for the phosphorus in the match. Which allows you to strike it on any rough surface. regular matches the sulfur is in the sandpaper you strike it on.
A typical strike-anywhere match head has an ignition temperature of 325°F.
For strike anywhere matches, a combination of sulfur, phosphorus sesquisulfide and potassium chlorate.
On a safety match (the kind you strike on a box) the red bit is primarily a compound called potassium chlorate. The strip on the box is red phosphorous. When you strike it on the box the two compounds create an explosive mixture which is then ignited by the heat and sparks produced by friction between the strip and the match head. Strike anywhere matches put the two compounds together on the match, the red is the phosphorous and the white tip is potassium chlorate. When you strike the match they mix and catch fire similar to striking a safety match on the box.
